Science The Science Department had one new course added to its curriculum. Zoology was introduced to the depart- ment this year by Mr. Edward Stork. The class dealt mainly with the study of plants and animals. Mr. Stork also taught the Biology A class. Mr. Larry Smith taught Introduc- tory to Physical Science (IPS) to Freshman. They learned some of the basics of physical science. Mr. Smith taught Biology B and C which included the study of cells, plants, animals, and man himself. Mr. Richard Andra taught Physics to the Mount and Maur Hill Juniors and a few Seniors. Every Tuesday and Thursday they could be seen engulfed in experiments trying to prove the laws of Physics. While the Physics class was busily at work, right down the hallway you could observe Mount and Maur Hill Seniors in Chemistry class working away under the direction of Rev. Bruce Swift, O.S.B. Chemistry is also a lab class and students could be seen on Tuesdays and Thursdays with test tubes and Bunsen Burners try- ing to figure out solutions and formulas. alft M[5l a 1 Mike Scheopner.
